I am looking for some opinions on what I should do. I am considering upgrading my existing irons for a new set. I am currently playing the Ping Eye 2 BeCu. I really like the clubs and that is part of the reason why I've been playing them for the past 20 years. I've tried different clubs over the years, but haven't hit any of the newer clubs any better than my trusty Pings. I was never fitted for these irons, the guy I bought them from said the shafts were too stiff for him. I tried them and every swing and shot felt great. I bought them on the spot. I guess the main reason for trying to move on is that I was thinking of keeping these clubs as a collectors item. While they do show signs of use, I would say they still have plenty of rounds left in them. My question is, are these clubs worth keeping as a collectors item? All the serial numbers match and the set is from 2 to L-Wedge. Perhaps I'm putting the cart before the horse, as I actually have to find some irons and wedges that I like first. Sorry for being a bit long winded. TIA.

I've found that to have any kind of consistency you need to make sure that accelerate through the ball. (As with any shot but especially the short game). Any time I don't do that it's pretty much an ugly result. Something else I would recommend is taking the time to read and try to follow Dave Pelz's book The Short Game Bible. His wedge system of thinking of your back swing as a clock has helped my short game greatly. After reading it and following his instructions on a swing, take the time to go to the range and actually find out your distances with the different wedges. All told it took me about 2 weeks of reading, swinging a club in my house/yard and going to the range. I seldom leave a chip from 15 to 75 yards out more than 10 feet from the hole. My putting on the other hand is atrocious.... Hope this helps.
